Hello from ND

Hello all! It's nice to have such a nice forum JUST FOR RELOADERS! I'm still on a number of other forums, but I will say I get sick of having one subforum for reloading. It is hard to research topics, as you have to go through pages and pages of posts just to find a few relative to what you are searching for. Anyways, I digress. Recent transplant from MN now in ND. Been reloading for almost ten years as I started in college with a score of a used Bonanza Co-Ax press and a box full of dies and other equipment for $50 from an older gentleman who was wanting to get rid of his stuff. Actually, I'll back up... I started on a Lee Loader, reloading exactly 10 rounds of .223 with H335 and 60gr Partitions. I decided that I didn't like the "whack-a-mole" process and was immediately searching for affordable gear, when the gear that I could afford found me! Currently I reload for .223, .243, .30-06, .357mag, and .44 mag. I have plans to build/acquire a few different projects in the near future so I'll soon be adding 6mm Rem, .30/30, and .338-06 to the stable. Been toying around with rechambering my .223 to .223AckImp too.... Oh what fun all these projects might be! I had been reloading with a great friend of mine who allowed me space on his bench in his basement when I was living in MN, but now that I moved to ND and am recently married, I have an apartment with a spare bedroom that I was given access to for my reloading ( I don't know if my wife truly understands what she has gotten herself into ;) ) So I am in the planning stages of building a bench and trying to make it work as efficiently as possible in a limited space. Man, am I happy to be here! Thank you Wes and crew for a great place to be a reloader! I've been a long-time follower of the FB page and groups, but haven't played with my rifles much in the past few years, so I have yet to be an actual customer. I look forward to changing that real soon!

Thank you Jbotto, and welcome aboard!!!
With all the FB drama, banning, removing pages, etc, it was time for a new place for all reloaders!!
As winter sets in, things will really pick up and once people realize FB is a waste of time, it will explode!!
People put too much time in on FB talking reloading, just to have pages deleted, and years of info and hard work go down the drain.
Won't ever happen here, as the forum is backed up every 4 hours :)
Only together can we all make this forum grow and be the new home for all reloaders!!

Wes, you're the man! I had been following all the drama/banning you got caught up in this year. Enough is enough! I think you did the right thing and made your own place! I'm using FB less and less for all the fun gun stuff recently, and am just happy to have followed your page here (even if I am a little slow to get here)! Thank you again sir! I can't wait until I'm up and running again to take advantage of your deals! I'm in prairie dog country now, so I'm hoping to give my .223 a workout next spring!
